Ladies & Gents, meet Ayman El-Sayed an independent journalist who has reported from Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, Cuba and the Former Yugoslavia. He is a member of Existence is Resistance, an organization that recently traveled to besieged Gaza and links progressive hip hop artist from the US with those in Palestine to raise awareness against the occupation.

Ayman was born in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in both New York and war-torn Lebanon shaped his outlook on the world. Over the past ten years he has been an anti-war activist and a supporter of freeing political prisoners such as Mumia Abu-Jamal. He has also organized against police brutality and cuts to CUNY.

Ayman's art is different than the artists I interviewed but its in the same direction, he uses his skills and passion to promote artists, show the real story & support in all ways possible. Check out the Full audio Interview below where we discussed EIR,commercial music & his passion for rising up & supporting the truth in any way possible among other stuff!

Fareed Nasser a.k.a Fredwreck is a legendary Music Composer. He has produce sick beats for artists like Dr.Dre,Snoop,Cypress Hill, Everlast,Kurupt,50 Cent,Ice Cube, Xzibit & many many more!

Recently, he dropped down to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for a visit & I (Re-Volt Radio) had the pleasure of sitting down with him & conducting an interview that I am really proud of.

Big ups to Jeddah Legends (Saudi Arabia) for hooking me with the studio for the interview.

I just want to say that it's important we credit the people who creates beats as much as we credit the people who perform. Its a team work & Fred is def. one of the best at what he does. Listen to the whole interview (really exiting topics discussed there!)
